We finna expose USA basketball for snubbing Trae again?

How come no one is talking about Trae getting snubbed AGAIN by USA Basketball? I think this all stems from Trae getting pissed off that Popovich chose Derick **** White over him a couple years ago. Trae saw that and immediately left the USA camp with an "infection."

I think USA is still holding a grudge and is punishing Trae.

No other way you can explain all these inferior players getting asked and not a word about Trae.

He should tell USA to F off and then go get a Serbian citizenship and lead them to a Gold.

Sorry, I have been laughing that Kevin Love is on the roster. He seems to be a cancer for the Cavs payroll, inside their locker room, and on the court when he actually plays.

Trae being blackballed.
Complete joke but he's been crapped on since he entered the league.

Isn't Team USA with Nike ?
I know Lillard and LaVine are like Trae with Adidas, but I bet they don't want too much Adidas players
Or it could be because they wanted players who have finished their season, but Booker, Holiday and Middleton are like Trae.
The only thing they all share are not being under a rookie contract

At least, it will be another source of motivation for him, and we know now that the first motivation are winning and not shining individually.

Think it might have something to do with Lloyd Pierce being on Pop’s staff. Hope Trae is in the mix starting with the 2023 World Cup. USA Basketball will be run by Grant Hill and likely have a new coach.

That makes sense. Pierce seemed like such a nice guy when he was here, but it turns out he was a real POS as well as being a terrible coach.

When Grant takes over I'm sure Trae will get his due. With Grant owning the Hawks it will be nice to have the politics on OUR side for a change.
